- Sacha Baron Cohen tries to recapture the glory of his prior foreigner-in-America culture comedy, but a lack of heart and diminishing returns on the successful gimmick turns this into a movie of decent jokes a decade too late.

- When sushi becomes art as much as it is food, the art of presenting it on film becomes transformative not only to the cuisine, but the people who make it.

Quick and Dirty: Charlie St. Cloud, Dinner For Schmucks

"Le diner de con" is such a classic French comedy, I don't think I want to risk it with the american remake.
Seriously, when did a American remake of a European movie was actually good?
I'm looking at you Jimmy Fallon and Queen Latifah for completly ruining Taxi... The original movie (the first two at least) are really really good. And it's also where I discovered Marion Cotillard so it's a big plus lol.

Glad to hear that Charlie St. Cloud is pretty good, I'm looking forward to checking it out sometime in the next week.
Have either of you guys seen 17 Again? After seeing that film I don't know how it's possible to dislike Efron. It's such a surprisingly fantastic comedy that somehow has spawned from an overdone and incredibly generic genre, and Efron anchors that film like know other. Still one of my favorite performances of the past few years. Really hope you guys get to check it out if you have not already. There's also a joke in there about his percieved homosexuality that is played really well.

I really wish that Robert Pattinson had never become popular, because it would mean that the Water For Elephants movie would star Efron instead of Pattinson, who can, you know, actually act. And if that movie is anything less than fantastic, I will cry deeply.
And dude, a song from High Violet was on. I envy that the radio stations you have play The National.

The problem I have with Efron is not really as him as an actor, because I have actually never seen him in anything that given him a chance to show off if he really is good or not, but I do have a problem with that whatever he's in he never really fits in, it's like he's the plastic model direct from uncanny valley. It just breaks any immersion and like in Me and Orson Welles he just stands out as a sore thumb and I just wish that he can grow up fast enough so we can get rid of this baby face of his. Effron would need to take on some method acting roles, so he can break out from that.
Is that The National's 'England' on the stereo at the beginning of the afterthoughts section?!
F-yes if it was; saw them live a couple of weekends back, beautiful.
(If it was on the radio, God I wish we had radio stations that played good shit like that in England).

Off topic, but after seeing the Kane And Lynch 2 QL, lo-fi youtube videos never looked so good . . .

Paul Rudd and Steve Carell reunite for this odd couple comedy where the only way to climb the corporate ladder is to do it on the backs of the entertainingly dim. |
